The Arizona Supreme Court has ruled that under state law, Gov. Katie Hobbs is not required to carry out the execution of a death row inmate. Aaron Gunches was set to be executed in April for his conviction in a killing decades ago.
The Arizona Supreme Court has ruled that state law doesn’t require Gov. Katie Hobbs to carry out execution of a prisoner who is scheduled to be put to death on April 6 for his conviction in a 2002 killing.
Lawyer for Hobbs said that the department lacks staff with proper expertise and does not have a contract right now for a pharmacist to compound the pentobarbital needed for an execution, and that corrections officials are unable to find out the identity of the state’s prior compounding pharmacist, who primarily had contact with an official no longer with the department.
Hobbs maintained that while the court authorized Gunches’ execution, its order doesn’t require the state to carry it out. Since then, the state has been criticized for taking too long to insert an IV for lethal injection into a condemned prisoner’s body and for denying the Arizona Republic permission to witness the three executions.
